Originally intended as the relief driver for my YJ, the JK has continued to impress me with it's capability and spartan nature, to the point where I felt like it would be a disservice to overbuild it to the point of a mall-crawler for the only occasional wheeling that it does. Make no mistake, this is a service vehicle for various Boy Scout camps and spends a good amount of time offroad. Between that, camping, canoeing, fishing, skiing and general wheeling, it represents the Jeep name proudly.

I thought it might be refreshing to see any entry that was an utilitarian soldier, rather than just a weekend trailer hero.

Between backpacking gear, muddy dogs, dripping kayaks, and a top that stays down in all sorts of weather conditions lining the interior was a must. And for driving hours and hours away from the city, the stock suspension with mud terrains is surprisingly capable while still making the trip to the trailhead a cinch. Add a cargo rack for hauling gear while seating 5 stinky backpackers and you've got the makings of one hell of an utilitarian vehicle.

Story: This started as a 2008 JKU Sahara bought for the wife to be a DD. It soon turned into our project vehicle and now is the weekend vehicle set up to be more capable on the trail than the pavement.

Story: I decided I wanted a jeep after riding shotgun in a few of my buddies rigs for a year. Then about year later my Yukon died I found this one at a local dealership. Its been an awesome learning experience ever since I got it. The more wheeling trips I take it on, the more things I want to buy for it haha. But this is my DD, so I dont plan on doing anything too serious too to it

Story:
It is an X with the "Rubi-Lite" package, it has the Rear HD Dana 44 with locker and the electric swaybar disconnect. It now has over 100,000 miles, is still my daily driver, weekend end toy, camper tow vehicle and I still love it.
